I’m still puzzling over bits and pieces of this hipster rap thing but I have a quick question for folks who’ve been going to shows or watching a lot of live videos featuring acts that have received the hipster rap label.

Who’s in the audience?  Are they the predominantly white hipsters wearing ironic t-shirts and skinny pants associated with such locales as Williamsburg that we’ve seen in the media or are they something else?

If there’s a disconnect at that point, then you can talk about hipster rap and hipsters as they connect to larger trends, but it seems kind of bogus to say they’re part of the same movement or demographic.
